The Time Team ,T-Team, or Temp Grex for short are a gang of thieves - or treasure looters who live as diggers of Fortune - created by the United Kingdom's Channel Four in 1994. Every second new moon, Channel Four sends the Time Team out for three consecutive nights, when the team are required to hunt for treasure to either fund Channel 4's other, poorly rating television programming or to financially support numerous racism accusations.

The Main Characters are:

Tony 'I love it when a cunning Plan comes together' Robinson is the leader of this band of mercenaries. Just because he's been on TV before, this somehow makes him the authority on digging up the 'spoils'. The others just ignore him as he knows shit about digging - He thought Geofizz was a next morning pick-me-up. (It is now - see below) He has a big nose for hunches - which is just as well.

Mick 'Uncle Albert' Aston is the weatherman who predicts when its going to piss down while their diggin ditches, Mick picks the best weekend to get shat on so they can go down t'Pub and discuss what they could have dug - could they be arsed. His Sweaters are now more famous than Bettys Hotpot who (along with Noel edmonds) which make him a sought after fashion Guru like Gok Wan.

Phil 'Woody' Hardin is the lead drinker in the group and champion banjo player, he can down a keg of Scrumpy and still dig a ditch regardless of whether its in the right field or the golf course. His Bleeding Banjo string incident in 2005 caused a bit of trouble for Channel fours censors, but after Tony stuck his face in the Camera to block out the Sun view, the audience complaints were diverted to Tonys features up close than anything less obscene.

The Team discover the Ark of the Covenant in Wales

The usual Long weekend from their day jobs consist of three-night in the following format:

Midnight: Liasing with public; kidnapping a crazy man with a camera and implant weird memories of aliens into the man's brain, creating yet another UFO conspiracy theorist for us all to laugh at (god bless the Time Team).

During routine Survey for 'Some Roman Latrines' , the team discovered a large dark spot on the geofizz results, (although initially they thought it was a beer stain. Tony has 'a cunning plan' and decided to take the initiave and said 'fuck it - lets dig this shit' After the others ignoring him and expecting it to be a fridge-freezer from the AD1980, The discovery of the Decade was found in the form of the Lost Ark. Using the royalties for the Rental of the ark for major wars, exhibitions and kids parties, the team can now finance channel 4 to continue the series and beat Last of the Summer Wine as the longest running program on the telly.
